Notes for downstream Linux packagers:

  • The files generated by our install-linux-* Makefile targets have changed, including the launch scripts, application icons, and mime metadata. If you modify or otherwise rely on the specific installed files then you will need to update your scripts.
  • All OpenRA-based mods (including our default distribution) are expected to register themselves for in-game mod switching by writing a metadata file to /var/games/openra/ModMetadata/ during installation. Please note that this directory should not be writeable by regular users for security reasons (the metadata files define paths that are executed during mod-switches). See our Debian postinst and prerm scripts for example usage.
